Team Thanksgiving!

Ahhh yesss.  Thanksgiving.  A time most students spend battling airport security lines, endless flight delays, and cringe-inducing family traditions.  Not if you’re on the USC Ski & Snowboard Team.  Every year, we ditch the smog of LA for the snow of Mammoth Lakes, California and a feast of our own.  Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, green beans, yams, mac and cheese: this year’s meal was a masterpiece.  Homemade goodness.  And extra delicious after a day of epic riding.

Opening Weekend.

The team in front of our most favorite Jeep.

You may recognize this Jeep as the site of quite a few ski jibbing injuries.

Caleb Farro heading for a backflip. Oooooo.

GoPro filming in progress!

Two brilliantly sunny days: check. One magnificent jump: check.

Matt Cook.

It's looking like winter already.

If only the upper gondola was open for more than sight-seeing . . .

View from the top of Face Lift. Down we go.

Ski Team Movie Night!

Just days away from Mammoth’s opening weekend, the USC Ski and Snowboard Team gathered to meet new members, collectively procrastinate on homework, and watch Poor Boyz Productions’ new film The Grand Bizarre.  Our conclusion: stoked, well, doesn’t begin to cover it.  At the end of the night, one lucky team member walked away with a new GoPro camera to capture the coming season.

Oh hey.

Great set-up in the USC Campus Center.

Smiles!  And officers in the background.

Energy, please!

Making Friends.

Hi zere.

Take your seats!

Friendly Friends

Ooooooooooo.

We’re coming, Mammoth!

Meet the Officers: Jess Jaime

Jess striking a pose during the team photo.

 

Full name, please: Jessica Maria Jaime.  My last name means “I love” in French.  Think “ja” as in “Jacque Cousteau” + ehm.  None of this hai-meh pronunciation crap.

Major: Design.

Ski or board or both?  SNOWBOARD.

Hometown: Ramona, California.  Bryan Fox is also from my hometown.  Interesting.  I never thought cows pastures would be good for raising snowboarders.

Favorite mountain: For hiking: Mt. Woodson.  For snowboarding: Mammoth.

Board of choice: GNU Park Pickle.

Favorite jams: “Vagabond” by Beirut.  “House By The Sea” by Iron & Wine.  “Summertime Clothes” by Animal Collective.

Life’s ambition: change someone else’s life for the better.  Also I’d like to buy my own house by the ocean in San Diego.  Live there, hatch some creative designs, and throw some nice sunset parties.

Predictions for the season: so much snow.  Lots of knitting and colorful gear.  A masterpiece of a Thanksgiving meal.

Best part of the USC Ski & Snowboard Team: knowing exactly what the weather outside is like when the music starts playing in the morning.
